It really wasn't fair for me to tempt you with all those mouthwatering New Zealand details and pictures, then not provide you with any details on how YOU can get there! Sorry about that... Here are two options for you, although the possibilities are really endless! 

Collette Vacations has been in the escorted tours business for over 91 years-check out their vintage ad below!  They offer some really amazing destinations and tours, including a South Pacific Wonders tour that covers New Zealand & Australia.  Check it out here:  South Pacific Wonders.  Their current special, which must be booked by 10/31/2009, might make it a bit easier for you to get to NZ next year:  buy 1 airfare & your companion flies for as little as $699! 

Another option for a journey to New Zealand is through Gap Adventures.  Check out their New Zealand Travel & Destination Guide.  Although not QUITE in the same price range or category, you probably won't be able to help yourself from ALSO perusing their 3 Trips & Tours for Space!!!  I'll have to see if they offer a really great travel agent discount for that one!

Enjoy!
